Went here when backpacking in China. The hostel was ok! Some of the lockers didn't work. And the toilets were a bit on the down side. Don't think that i would stay here again just because of the location. It was in a quite turisty-area that was a bit boring to live in. Perhaps we went here in the low season, but there were like no backpakers so that was a bit boring aswell.

Had a really good time at Leo hostel, friendly people and nice staff. Cozy bar area/ common room. AMAZING location, really close to tianmen square and the forbidden city. Situaded in one of the old parts of Beijing, a so called "hutong". Don't miss out on the fantastic pancakes that you'll find (if you are facing the hostel) 5 minutes walking right, under a Green sign saying "pancakes", or something similar. Make sure to actually look though, since it's a tiny place. Enjoy!

Leo hostel were quite a good hostel located within walking distance from the forbidden city. The hostel had a nice bar with good food and the staff were amazing. The rooms was quite small with the hardest beds I ever slept in. There were lookers in the room but sometimes they didn't lock properly. The toilets and showers were located one floor down from our room and you had to walk through the bar to get to them. This means that you always had to get properly dressed.

Beg, Borrow, Steal: A Writer's Life

bookshelves: bio-and-memoir, library_books, writing
Read in December, 2009
The author is a writer, and these are stories from his life, but not all of them are stories about "the writing life" (as such). Greenberg presents us with a memoir in essay format, which I read as my carry-around book (restaurant lunches, etc.), a few small chapters per day. An impulse loan off the New Books shelf that worked out well.

What are the symptoms of breast cancer?
The symptoms of breast cancer include painless breast lumps, nipple discharge, and inflammation (redness) of the skin of the breast. Sometimes breast cancer may not cause any signs or symptoms.
Breast cancer frequently causes no pain in the breast. Although women often worry about breast pain, most women with breast pain do not have breast cancer.
Nipple discharge that occurs without the nipple being touched can be caused by benign (non-cancerous) growths. Examples of these growths are intraductal papillomas (non-cancerous growths that protrude into the milk ducts) and dilated areas of milk ducts (ductal ectasia). Nipple discharge can also be caused by cancer of the breast tissue. Because nipple discharge can be a sign of cancer, it needs to be evaluated by a doctor.
Skin changes on the breast, including redness and warmth, can sometimes be a sign of breast cancer. A form of breast cancer that commonly causes these signs of inflammation is Paget's disease of the breast. However, most inflammation or rashes on the breast are not due to cancer. They may be caused by benign problems such as nipple eczema or a fungal infection. Still, any breast rashes should be evaluated by a doctor. Areas that are especially scaly and red, particularly if they are persistent, or if there is also nipple discharge, are often sampled (biopsied) to rule out cancer.
What determines breast cancer risk?
The chances that a particular breast lump could be cancerous depends on many factors, including a woman's past medical history, her physical examination, and results of radiological tests (e.g. mammograms and ultrasounds). Some of the most important risk factors are outlined below.
Age is the biggest risk factor for breast cancer. In other words, most cases of breast cancer occur due to the fact that the risk of breast cancer increases with age. Most women with breast cancer do not have a history of breast cancer. A woman who has had a prior breast cancer or who has a family history of breast cancer is certainly at risk herself, especially if multiple family members are involved, the cases occurred at a young age, or if the cancer involved both breasts of a single family member.
Women who have received radiation therapy to the chest area as treatment for another cancer have a significantly increased risk for breast cancer.
Genetic factors
About 5% to 10% of breast cancer cases have been shown to be related to inherited gene changes (mutations). The most common mutations are those of the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes, although other genetic mutations may also lead to breast cancers.
Abnormal findings on previous breast biopsies
The finding of certain conditions on previous breast biopsies can also increase the risk for developing breast cancer. Pre-cancerous growths and growths noted on a breast biopsy that represent an increased risk for the development of breast cancer include the following:
- Ductal carcinoma-in-situ (DCIS) is an uncontrolled growth of cells that has not spread beyond the milk duct where it is located. DCIS consists of cancer cells that have not invaded other tissues. Therefore, DCIS is an early stage of breast cancer and is the most common type of noninvasive breast cancer. DCIS is not life-threatening, but must be treated. Women with DCIS have an increased risk for developing a recurrence of the cancer or for development of a new cancer in either breast.
- Lobular carcinoma-in-situ (LCIS) is considered to be a condition in which abnormal cells are confined to the lobules in the breast (the glands that produce milk). Unlike DCIS, LCIS is not considered to have a high probability of becoming a cancer, but it is a sign of risk for that breast or the opposite breast for developing a cancer. Therefore, women with LCIS have a greater chance of developing breast cancer in either breast.
- Proliferative disease of the breast is a benign condition, but it can be a signal that breast cancer may develop in the future. Ductal hyperplasia (the overgrowth of normal cells within the breast ducts) and atypical hyperplasia (overgrowth of abnormal cells in the ducts or lobules that is not serious or extensive enough to qualify as DCIS or LCIS) are examples of conditions that increase the overall risk for developing breast cancer. Not surprisingly, women with atypical hyperplasia have a higher risk than do those with simple ductal hyperplasia (without atypia).
Women with DCIS, LCIS, atypical hyperplasia, or proliferative disease are at even higher risk of developing breast cancer if they have a history of breast cancer in the family.

About Utah: From the slopes of Snowbird to the top of Everest: Life is a world wide trek
Lee Benson
SANDY — Dean Cardinale didn't invent the philosophy of Do What You Love and You'll Love What You Do – but he may have perfected it.
Want to see a satisfied laborer? Want to see a contented capitalist? Want to see a man happy when he's going TO work? Dean's got all those bases covered. Sometimes during a typical workday he'll stop and inhale deeply just to affirm he isn't daydreaming – and also because he needs the oxygen.
Part of it is the location of his office – Everest one week, Kilimanjaro the next, the ruins of Machu Picchu the next, a sailboat off the coast of the British Virgin Islands after that.
Dean is owner/operator/founder of World Wide Trekking, a business he hatched out of his employee dorm room at Snowbird Ski Resort six years ago. The company motto – "Our planet we guide it, you trek it" – pretty much says it all. Dean and his small band of guides – there are four of them, counting him – roam the Earth showing people where the cool stuff is, and where to step once they get there.
The concept is simple enough, but it took 15 years for it to evolve, dating back to Dean's arrival in Utah in 1992.
He was 22 years old and got a job as a fry cook at Snowbird's Forklift Restaurant, much to the chagrin of the professors at New Hampshire's Keene State College who'd given him a diploma in mechanical design the year before. Dean had full intention of putting that degree to good use, but four months of a desk job at a New Hampshire engineering firm proved to be his limit.
In his new career – skiing, roughly speaking – he soon made it onto the Snowbird ski patrol and eventually became the resort's avalanche forecaster. He moved into the employee dorm and developed a routine. All winter he'd patrol and forecast and save his money. In the spring, when the ski season ended, he'd spend his savings on an adventure.
He did all sorts of stuff. Ran rivers. Climbed mountains. Sailed oceans. Skied the Southern Hemisphere. He bicycled the coast of California three times. One year he summited Denali. Another year he climbed the North Face of Mont Blanc. In 2005 he reached the top of Everest.
Then, in 2007, as the ski season was about to expire, he had a brainstorm. Why not take others to the places he'd been? Why not turn it into a business? Why not call it World Wide Trekking?
His first commercial trip was to Everest Base Camp in the summer of 2007. He broke even that year. Ditto in 2008. But word was spreading. The world – or at least that part of the world that likes to really get away from it all – started beating a path to his website (www.wwtrek.com). People loved Dean's trips. One of them loved Dean. On a trip to climb Kilimanjaro in 2010, a client named Alison, an airline pilot, married him.
Alison moved to Utah and Dean moved out of the dorm. They moved into a house in the Salt Lake Valley, not far from the offices World Wide Trekking now leases near the mouth of Big Cottonwood Canyon at 7938 S. 3500 E.
Dean isn't at headquarters much, though. He breezed in last week after guiding a 30-day trip through Russia (climbed Mt. Elbrus) and Turkey. He'll be back on the trail again in a week or so, to Bolivia, then Peru and then Everest base camp.
As he outlines his itinerary, Dean can't help but break into a grin.
"Yeah," he agrees of the job he's carved, "it's perfect – couldn't be better. When I started this I decided I only wanted to do it if it felt like my passion. It would be something I'd do if you didn't pay me."
Often, he's the one doing the paying, or, more accurately, the paying back. An outgrowth to World Wide Trekking is the Human Outreach Project, a nonprofit Dean started, and his clients have embraced, that donates goods and services to those areas they trek to that are rich in natural resources but too often lacking economically.
The Human Outreach Project, with Dean as president and Alison as vice president, owns and/or funds orphanages in Tanzania and Peru and supports a dental clinic in Nepal, in addition to regularly contributing food and clothing and other gear to dozens of other locations. Every year, Dean guides doctors from Salt Lake's Moran Eye Center to the Himalayas where part of the trip is devoted to cataract surgery.
The reward from such experiences, he says, is huge – very much like the reward from climbing a mountain, running a river or sailing an ocean.
You never do it and wish you hadn't.
The perfect formula for the perfect job.

I am very new to Java-programming, and have some problems in getting an enumerated type to work. In my program I have declared the following static variables:
class Employee {
enum Gender {MALE, FEMALE};
static final double NORMAL_WORK_WEEK = 37.5;
static int numberOfFemales;
static int numberOfMales;
Gender sex;
I have added a method for printing relevant information, as well as the following method:
static void registerEmployeeGender(Gender sex) {
switch(sex) {
case MALE:
numberOfMales++; break;
case FEMALE:
numberOfFemales++; break;}
In my client where I attemt to run the program, I am unable to use this last method. Say I create an object, Employee1, and type:
I then get the error message: FEMALE cannot be resolved to a variable.
What is causing this error message? Like I said, I am quite new to Java, and this is my first attempt at using the enumerated type, so I probably have done something wrong. If anyone can give me any help, I would greatly appreciate it.
Of course, I have only posted part of the program here, but this is the only part that is giving me an error message. If you need me to post more of the program, or all of it for that matter, please let me know.
Thanks in advance for any help!

What To Do If Your Dog Gets High
Okay: You've never cupped your hands over your dog's snout and blown smoke into his nose. Ever?
Well stop it.
A Human Society expert says getting your dog high is not cool and, worse, could be dangerous.
Dogs, in fact, can't really even get "high" as we know it:
Veterinarian Jennifer Bolser of the Humane Society Of Boulder Valley (Colorado) says your dog is not enjoying the free smoke-out. He might actually be hating it:
Marijuana exposure in pets causes neurologic toxicity, which is not the same as the "high" that people experience. The symptoms (staggering, agitation, stupor, etc.) that develop in pets do not appear enjoyable for them.
So here's what to do if you "accidentally" get your pet stoned:
Sam Xu
Head to the vet, Bolser says. You want to get the cannabis out of puppy's system via induced vomiting and charcoal that will absorb it. If worse comes to worst, IV fluid delivery and seizure-control measures might be necessary, she writes.
And, the writer says, be upfront about what, exactly, your pup has been exposed to. Vets, she says, aren't interested in reporting you (this is probably particularly true in medical marijuana states like California and Colorado).
Bolser concludes:
Foremost, please keep your medical marijuana, weed, bud, ganja, pot, brownies and joints safely contained and out of your pets' reach ...

This is a no-hype, pragmatic post about why I think you should consider architecting your next project the way SOA and/or microservices suggest. No matter if it's a greenfield approach or if you're in dire need of refactoring. Please note: considering still keeps open the option of not taking that approach.

Right off the bat, Newman advises that we should "think of microservices as a specific approach for SOA in the same way that XP or Scrum are specific approaches for Agile Software development". These analogies are very interesting because my expectation was that microservices is a pattern. So I might infer that microservices is a set of process techniques as opposed to an architectural approach. Yet in the book, Newman clearly includes some elements of concept model and architecture as well as p...

Let's just nip the conflation of these terms in the bud, shall we?
"MIcro" is big these days. Both microservices and microsegmentation are having and will continue to have an impact on data center architecture, but not necessarily for the same reasons. There's a growing trend in which folks - particularly those with a network background - conflate the two and use them to mean the same thing.
They are not.
One is about the application. The other, the network. T...

A musician and a nerd, what can I say? I even dabbled in writing music for the band.

The Platte River Road archway at Kearney has filed for bankruptcy, seeking to reorganize its massive debts once again.
The giant archway has been plagued by finanical problems for years. Built at a cost of $60 million, it opened in 2000. Attendence was around 250,000 visitors, not too far below expectations, for the first two years, but declined sharply after that. The arch was refinanced in 2002, and ordered to repay $22 million in bonds by this year.
The money isn't there, officials said.
Last year fewer than 50,000 people attended, in a year of exceptional drought and high gas prices.
Officials hope the arch can continue to operate, once a bankruptcy court helps reoganize the finances.
The arch was a dream of former Gov. Frank Morrison, who believed Nebraska should emphasize its central role in the development of the West.
Morrison spoke the dedication of the arch. He was 95. A bust of his face can be seen at the entrance to the monument.

"If you establish a democracy, you must in due time reap the fruits of a democracy. You will in due season have great impatience of the public burdens, combined in due season with great increase of the public expenditure. You will in due season have wars entered into from passion and not from reason; and you will in due season submit to peace ignominiously sought and ignominiously obtained, which will diminish your authority and perhaps endanger your independence. You will in due season find your property is less valueable, and your freedom less complete." ~ Benjamin Disraeli
The Ten Commandments of Justice
Even outside of Alabama, people have heard about the state's new Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore. He is known as the Ten Commandments Justice for his insistence on hanging a plaque containing them onto the courtroom wall. Although most people barely gave it notice, a small minority raised a considerable ruckus over it and insisted that it was unconstitutional and violated the principle of separation of church and state.
After winning his seat on the Supreme Court in 2000, Moore decided to be a little more modest with his holy scripture and relegated it to the wall of his office, where it was out of sight of most of the public. Soon the opponents discontinued their protests.
But Moore had a surprise for them in August 2001. Visitors to the state's judicial building got quite a shock when they found a huge new 5,280-pound granite monument right in the middle of the building's rotunda. On it was carved the Ten Commandments.
Moore had the monument installed the previous day late in the afternoon after all of the other justices and their staff had gone home. It arrived on a truck and was carried inside on a large forklift. A couple of security guards witnessed it but made no effort to stop it. After all, Roy Moore was the top dog in that building.
Moore insisted that the monument was funded entirely from private sources and that no taxpayers' money was used. He must have paid a considerable premium to have it dressed down to weigh exactly 5,280 pounds. He apparently meant for it to be a milestone of some sort. There is no mention as to whether he had an engineer certify that the rotunda floor could support the weight, but so far, it has not shown any sign of failure.
As soon as the news media mentioned the monument, protesters cried foul louder than ever before, but Moore somehow managed to brush them aside and keep the monument in the building. The loudest outcry came from State Representative Alvin Holmes, who is always spouting off about something. Holmes insisted on putting another monument in there to honor his "hero," Dr. Martin Luther King, as if he didn't have enough monuments in Montgomery already.
There is a legitimate argument against mixing religion with politics. A graphic example is the fundamentalist Taliban Moslems who have spread terror all over the world. If the Ten Commandments can be displayed there, what about the Koran? Thomas Jefferson saw the potential for serious mischief if religion was recognized in any way as a state function.
Furthermore, most of the Ten Commandments don't correspond to justice in a courtroom. The first four address worshipping the Lord, not man's treatment of his fellows. Only three--thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not steal, and thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor--have direct applications under law.
So what about something suitable for our government to keep in mind? It would be really great for any court to have a just set of rules to ensure that it gives every individual a fair shake. Courts have a very important function, and abuses should never be tolerated.
So here is a set of rules suitable for any court in the world, the Ten Commandments of Justice:
1. Thou shalt always uphold the doctrine of equal justice under law.
2. Thou shalt always assume innocence until convicted beyond reasonable doubt.
3. Thou shalt not use the courts to achieve publicity, glory or financial gain.
4. Thou shalt not impose unreasonable fees, regulations or other burdens onto any defendant, nor upon conviction any excessive, abusive or unreasonable fines, sentences or other punishments, nor any punishment out of proportion to the magnitude of the offense.
5. Thou shalt not charge or convict anyone for an act that has no victim, or anyone who has made a genuine honest mistake, or anyone for an act of nature or the actions of others beyond his control or knowledge.
6. Thou shalt respect the liberty, life, property and privacy of every individual and uphold his right to each.
7. Thou shalt reject all cases and charges that are unreasonably trivial or frivolous.
8. Thou shalt not incarcerate anyone for an unreasonable time while awaiting trial, and if a delay is unavoidable, thou shalt release the defendant on his own recognizance until the trial can take place.
9. Thou shalt select juries at random and refuse to reject any juror except one who in his own opinion feels that he may not be able to render an unbiased verdict.
10. Thou shalt not pursue the state's prosecutions against individuals with greater intensity than individuals' prosecutions against the state.

The Linda in Niner by MiH
There is a minor trend with crafty and surrealism in the denim market at the moment. MiH has come out with their take on the trend with their Linda cut in Niner. The style is a classic MiH washed denim in a classic cut with friendship braid appliqu├® snakes swirled and wrapped around the jeans.
There is a sense of life that is being brought back to denim with this trend. It is not a print, but actual braiding that has been attached to the jeans, so there is depth to the detailing, yet it is still subtle. It is a style that I can see countless women wearing out whether they dress it up or down. What do you think of these jeans? You can click here to purchase these jeans from the MiH website for $265.
Weekend Going Out Look: MiH Marrakesh Flared Jeans
As it's Easter weekend and officially Spring, I wanted to do something fun and airy for my weekend going out look. I chose to style the MiH Marrakesh Flared Jeans as flares are incredibly popular right now, pairing them with a Alice & You Mint Cami Top and layering over the Stella McCartney White Crepe Blazer.
I think pastel tones are gorgeous for Easter as they remind me so much of the decorated eggs and blooming flowers! To add some height to the look, I chose these Giuseppe Zanotti Roz Sandals and finished it with a Neve Pink Clutch and a Natasha Zinko Bunny Ears Ring. Of course, no Easter look would be complete without a set of fun bunny ears to wear on the day too!
MiH Jeans Sample Sale
MiH Jeans is holding a sample sale with up to 75% off their stock! It's on Friday 5th March at The Music Rooms on South Molton Lane in London, from 11am – 7pm! It's definitely not a sale you want to miss! The details are in the flyer above!
Kate Bosworth in a Vintage Wrangler Denim Shirt & MiH Jeans

"-Layout worked well for our picture (elongated) -Customized the font type at the base of the photo with our family name -Used rounded corners, which added a really nice touch -Snowflake detail was sweet and did not overwhelm the picture -Felt quality was basically in line with the cards we also ordered from Minted. This was a good value for the price."
"This year I chose an OLD photograph taken at our wedding 38 years ago. The card I selected was perfect for the photo, which itself was not that sharp an image. For the first time I got a lot of responses back complimenting the card. It was a big success."
"I was very happy with the quality of these cards...very nice!! The red was not a very deep red, but still very beautiful."
"This card is gorgeous. It perfectly captured the festive feeling of the season. Family members raved about it and the unique design and shape. Exceptional quality and delivery was four days earlier then the estimated arrival date."

do companies have to allow these types of transaction? or is there a way a company can refuse to allow them. This question does not concern HT but I am not knowledgeable on it. I have been to other message boards and people posts complaints,etc. about shorting a stock and driving prices. If this is true, does a company have to register with the SEC to allow this or is this automatically legal if a company is publicly traded? Thanks
Most of us own stocks held by the brokerage, who can loan them to short sellers. Can we tell our brokerage not to loan our shares? I think I will ask my broker. You can too.I wish they would outlaw short sales. Brokerage's make money doing this and the people who own the shares get *****ed.

Best Escape From the Eastside
Sometimes you just need to get out of Dodge — to the other side of it, I mean. If you live in the insular and incestuous Eastside hipster hoods of Echo Park or Silver Lake, the only real place to get that fuzzy feeling of being away from home but not too far away is breezy, pot-baked Venice. This is especially true when The Fall hits, which I'm betting will be on the most evil day of the week, Monday. So, with the proper amount of warning, I'd spend the final Sunday of L.A. with my friend Nina, enjoying the routine she likes to call "Secret Westside Sundays."
Here's how it works: We would get out of central L.A. no earlier than 4 p.m., and not before sipping dry at least two bottles of Pellegrino. This is to allow the filth and folly of Friday and Saturday nights to entirely wash out of one's system. Make a couple of phone calls, cruise down Venice Boulevard, and visit a few friends who live anywhere south of the 10 freeway and west of the 405, a region of L.A. that feels . . . different, where it's Brazilian, Oaxacan, Indian, black, fast and wide but still sorta gangsta, laid-back and eclectic. This may include dropping by a friend's house in the Venice canals, where we'd be able to say goodbye to our brothers the ducks, and to the high-end homes. Since the world is ending, a homeowner wouldn't mind if we commandeered a canoe or rowboat for a while, right?
At 6 p.m., we'd head over to the New Dwaraka Temple for its free Sunday vegan "love feast," entirely open to the public and very delicious. Here's where we could ponder the quality of our karma, because we'd essentially be mooching dinner off peace-loving Hare Krishnas. (If you're not too sure about your standing with the cosmos, there's a convenient donation box by the door.) And while sitting there and eating and enjoying the fellowship, we could scan the room for a secret "Krishna crush." From there, as sunset neared, we'd go jam out at the Sunday drum circle on the Venice Beach sand, joining the hordes of neo–flower children and dopeheads as they ecstatically bid farewell to the final sun.
NEW DWARAKA TEMPLE: 3764 Watseka Ave., L.A., (310) 836-2676.

The precise perform regarding each is still being learned, but research workers have develop not less than reasons why powering the steps. Listed here REM Again a concise examine them.
A number of you might by now understand the sleeping phases of REM and Low-REM snooze. REM indicate Speedy Observation Action and it's a distinct period of relaxation themselves. Neo-REM can be divided into 4 unique phases of slumber. Every section of the snooze circuit added benefits us inside of a unique way.
The levels of get to sleep essentially get started with the Not-REM phases. A symptom stage or phase the first is when a person initially is situated decrease and ends their eyes. The brain begins to ramp along activity and begin is essential relocating our bodies into sleep method. Anyone remains aware about things and can be easily woke up at this point. Generally this the main course of action only is maintained a short while.
Period a couple of the get to sleep development would be the following time period of lighting slumber. The center fee retards and the entire body temp decreases. Our body is completing the entire process of dropping off to sleep and it's planning for profound slumber. It is during the deeply periods of rest the fact that system functions several capabilities which include mend of assorted tissues, constructing bone fragments and muscular mass and restores our electricity and natural defenses. A lot of our health and wellness challenges from insomnia certainly are a result in a lessen or insufficient the following two development wherever profound sleeping takes place and even REM get to sleep.
Get to sleep stages 3 and 4 can be extremely identical with one particular staying greater compared to the other. At times called delta sleeping right after the sort of brain wave task registered though studying people during sleep at these steps, the body is entirely napping. Seeking to wake somebody of these two time periods rest is hard and an individual possibly consider awhile to totally awaken if aroused in the course of one of those stages of sleep.
REM rest can be a slumber level that takes place just after someone has been sleeping for a little bit (hr and a half to two hrs). It continues for several minutes and therefore the body work day out of it back in deep snooze. The body then work day back into REM just as before later on as well as a extended period of time. This between the two design can occur many times throughout an 8 hours relaxation. The exact causes of this aren't fully recognized. What experts truly do know is always that brain activity throughout REM snooze is sort of as effective as when a person is conscious. The REM sleep steps are wherever almost all of our fantasizing occurs.
In order for our snooze to be effective we've got to have enough time to allow for a number of rounds of Neo-REM and REM rest. After we forget any of these stages of get to sleep then our sleeping is a smaller amount peaceful therefore we are inclined to undergo improved chance of health concerns either literally or in your head. Taking a look at tips to get good nights sleep it is very important examine way of living, diet plan, exercise and also other issues that affect our snooze. Modifications to these parts usually tend to bring about REM Again the best lasting leads to our snooze good quality.
If it doesn operate or you will have complicated with the get to sleep stages for some other reasons it can be essential to look at pharmaceutical drug slumber remedies or organic REM Again supplements to give you your total sleep. Be proper care although and discuss this with a experienced doctor knowledgeable about each. Prescription drugs may have significant unwanted side effects and really should often be a final measure. Dietary supplements are less risky in general, but they can interact with other prescription medications you may be using then it is advisable to examine. Just recognize that you are able to get reliable relaxation if you really want to. Requires some hard work and analysis on your part.

The script that I have at the moment brings in all the photos I have in my directory and saves them in my works space as m1, m2, m3 ...... m100 since I have 100 images. Heres the code:
for n=3:length(A) %it starts with 3 because the first 2 entries in the dir are . and ..
eval(['m' num2str(n) '=imread(A(n).name);']);
Nice and simple! However, I now want to go to each of the images and resize them but I am having to do it manually at the moment and I was wondering if anyone knew how to create a function that would loop through all the image matrices (first m1 then m2 and so on) and resize each one. They all need to be the size of the first image. This is what I have so far but it takes a long time and I am hoping to load in more images in the future:
[a b c]=size(m1);
p2 = imresize(m2, [a b]);
p3 = imresize(m3, [a b]);
p4 = imresize(m4, [a b]);
p5 = imresize(m5, [a b]);
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Isn't this what the documentation should be all about? That's what it should be ...and I think we are making good progress. Sylvain showed me the Cocoon docu in a single pdf. That's great. Maybe we just need to revise it a bit from the print perspective and get people to really commit on writing a chapter on certain topics. I just assume having a few people getting there names onto a cover will help with the commitment ;) > Instead of doing the FOO-jerk, just make sure our documentation is > republish-able in a paper format at all times? > ORA even has a series for that: http://www.oreilly.com/oreilly/ > author/ch01.html#series and look for "community press".
